Myles Standish, US Vice Consul in Charge of Visas, Marseilles, France, 1940

Myles Standish, like Hiram Bingham, issued visas to Jewish and other refugees seeking to escape France to Portugal.  He was active in the rescue of Lion Feuchtwanger from a French-German internment camp in 1940. 

After his assignment in Marseilles, Standish took a position with the War Refugee Board finding escape routes for refugees in Europe.
